Prof. Sherry Turkle speaks with NPR’s Ted Radio Hour host Manoush Zomorodi about her research on the impact of AI usage on people’s relationships with their technology. “You know, we built this tool, and it's making and shaping and changing us,” says Turkle. “There is no such thing as just a tool. And looking back, I think I did capture the new thing that was happening to people's psychologies, really because of my method, which was just to listen to people. And I think that my work was not esoteric in the sense that it spoke directly to those feelings of disorientation. The culture had met something uncanny, and I tried to really speak to that feeling.”
